Grounded creates space for women to reconnect with themselves through hiking, with all the details taken care of so there’s room to focus on the experience.

Their small-group women’s retreats pair beautiful walking routes with good food, guided journalling, yoga, meditation and time to slow down and connect with the people you’re sharing it with.

The next retreat heads to the Yuraygir Coastal Track in February 2027, with two days of guided hiking across 32km of coastline. There’s beachfront accommodation, nourishing meals, sunrise meditation, daily yoga and a Sandon River boat crossing, bringing together time on the track with space to rest.

Christmas parties are getting a creative twist this year, with Byron School of Clay opening up private pottery workshops for festive celebrations, work Christmas parties and end-of-year catch-ups with friends.

Tucked away in Newrybar, right next to Prairie Coffeehouse, the studio is inviting groups to swap the usual drinks and dinner for two hours of getting their hands muddy, learning a new skill and creating something to take home.

Choose from wheel-throwing workshops for groups of up to 13 or handbuilding sessions for larger gatherings. No experience is necessary, with each workshop guided by the studio’s experienced team.

At $100 per person, the two-hour experience includes all materials, glazing and firing, plus two handmade pots to keep once they’re finished.

Whether it’s a workplace celebration, a gathering with friends or something a little different for the family, it’s a chance to slow down, get creative and celebrate the season together.

Private bookings are now open for the holiday season. Head to Byron School of Clay or visit the link in our bio to enquire.
